Having completed its Third installment (though with the 1st Rugby World Cup long lost into the mists of time), the Rugby World Cup is one of the younger tournaments in the international NS Sporting Calendar, for fans and players of the 15-man Rugby Union code.

RWC2

Revived from the dustbin of pre-Jolt history, Aust began sign-ups for the second Rugby World Cup. 20 teams entered into the competition, a massive 14 of them posting Rosters. Though Aust had to drop out of the hosting before the Tournament began, Starblaydia, who had developed a simple scorinator, took up the hosting duty. Though Dark Teutonia had by far the highest RP Bonus in the Cup, they failed to score in the final and were demolished by Cockbill Street.

RWC3

Co-hosted by future World Cup 21 hosts Cockbill Street and Lethislavania, 22 teams (in two groups of 6 and two groups of 5) competed once more. the Defending Champions Cockbill Street breezed through the tournament, as did Starblaydia, meeting in a climactic Semi-Final. Though beating their biggest opponents by a single point, the Champions couldn't continue their form and fell to East Lithuania in a shock Final result, while Starblaydia took revenge over Aust for last time.
